injury.

What you should do: Always
wear your seat belt, and make

frontal airbags to help protect the
driver and a front seat passenger.

belts.
The seat belts are the
occupants’ primary protection

airbags supplement the seat
belts by providing extra
protection for the head and
chest of each front seat
occupant in a moderate to
severe frontal collision.

Airbags offer no protection in
side impacts, rear impacts,
rollovers, or minor collisions.
Airbags are designed to deploy
